Baptists in the UK wanted to reach out to Jews in their area, so they came together to invite Jews to meetings where the Jewishness of Jesus was discussed, and his Messianic claim debated from a Jewish context[dubious ]. As the context of the Jewishness of Jesus was "rediscovered," the original plan to witness to the Jews backfired into a reformation movement wherein Christians began pushing for an exploration of the Hebrew roots of their faith[dubious ].

The birth of many congregations throughout the world as a result of individual bible studies in the Hebrew roots of Christianity, has birthed a general movement which was later written about in 1988 by David H. Stern in the book "Messianic Jewish Manifesto" which set the groundwork for the modern movement and the various Messianic Jewish organizations that exist today.
